  • "no humans were injured in the making of this video" should include horses were not injured

  • @karabourne The fact that no horses were injured should be self evident. The statement that no humans were injured is why I teach what I teach, to prevent people from getting injured or killed.

  • @rathmiron sorry, mine seriously doesn't spook at anything. all i was saying. sorry if you thought that's what I meant

  • @twosheas it doesn't mean that if you can walk under a horse, he/she is 'very chilled'. i can walk under my horse, and she desn't carea bit, but she still spookes occasionally

  • @opiumhorse yeah, basically that is it

  • @twosheas I believe it all comes down to two things: If your horse trusts you, and you demonstrate that the item/activity isn't going to hurt you, then let the horse smell/touch it, then you are golden. That may be over simplifying it, but that pretty much covers it.

  • @opiumhorse awesome! I 'have' a very chilled horse and he doesn't spook at anything, i've walked right under him and he just stares at me "Ya, what?" haha very good videos, it's nice to find people that work horses out of their fears rather than just reprimand when they do a natural reaction

  • @twosheas I stumbled across the technique while teaching my horses not to shy when I was working around them with leadropes, etc, years ago. I recently had one of my horses get tangled up in our tree swing in the front yard while mowing for me. He stood perfectly still until I saw him & removed it. The fact that he wasn't terrified when it was wrapped around him was because of all the work I had done earlier. I have had this happen time & again, when a horse gets tangled in ropes, etc.

  • @opiumhorse really? hmm good job, very nice, that is a very handy tool, thanks for sharing,

  • @twosheas Yes, I have covered this with many other people. I have taught my horses how to move around them, and use the technique to ground tie. If you watch my other videos, you will see how they move around them. You can literally teach a horse to do anything. Thanks for watching.
